i didn't have anywhere to put this so holy shit lmao

http://www.engadget.com/2016/05/31/amds-radeon-rx480-gpu-is-vr-ready-for-just-199/

a fucking vr ready gpu for 199  you could crossfire 2 for better than a 1080 but 2/3 of the price lmao

i was gonna probably get a 1070 but i dunno, this shit's a game changer holy fuck AMD

[C.Mongler]

i guess this probably is tech but fuck it i wanna talk about this in relation to gaming and tech board is dead so fuck it

[squirrelfriend]

do u think i should care about vr
zyphet said he is going to develop a program that will allow him to sleep in vr

That's pretty great. If I hadn't just bought a GTX 980 around the holidays I'd consider buying 2 of those.

but fuck amd though

i mean now that this is a thing, maybe? it's yet to be seen reall tho tbh lol "not yet"

[strongbad]

vr is scary but it will probably be super sick
i haven't used it besides a demo unit and google cardboard. looking forward to trying some actual gaming in the future

Wow and I paid $169 for the stupid R9270 in my current computer

[C.Mongler]

lol now that im not blazed outta my mind, still probably gonna get the 1070, but if u have any interest in pc gaming at all, this new AMD GPU is fucking choice. you'll be able to play most games for the next like 3 or so years on ultra at 1080p GODDAM

I just have a R9 280x that I bought 2 years ago lmao

[C.Mongler]

>tfw you have a 16:10 monitor and play shit at 1050p like some sorta weirdo

when i get this inheritance money i'm getting a nice ass BenQ 1080p 144hz monitor. would love to go balls out and get a 1440p one, but for the resolution AND refresh rate it's like 700 fucking dollars lol probably not worth with 4k on the horizon

2k will be the gaming sweet spot

[C.Mongler]

i still find it hilarious that people think the upgraded ps4 will be 4k compatible at the rumored price point lol, i could dump 1000 bucks into my PC and it still wouldn't really be 4k compatible lol

[Snowy]

4K is so hard to do. I don't even understand how people thing a PS4 could do it.
